Maruki Gallery for the Hiroshima Panels appeals for emergency support; severe funding shortages impact the preservation and management of the Hiroshima Panels.
Summary
The Maruki Gallery for the Hiroshima Panels, located in Higashimatsuyama, Saitama, has issued an appeal for urgent financial support due to a severe funding crisis. Known for housing the masterpieces by Iri Maruki and Toshi Maruki, the gallery is currently undergoing extensive renovations. However, unexpected structural issues and storm damage have caused construction costs to soar significantly. Facing chronic deficits and threats to the preservation of their collection, the gallery is increasing membership fees and soliciting donations to their conservation fund to ensure they can achieve their scheduled reopening in May 2027.
